-+-butterflies riding ravens-+-
By NikesRain
she sits staring across storm clouds
eyes filling with the grey and rain
hoping to wash her heart less visible
gathering threads of tattered silver linings
weaving them into lost fairytales
to veil glistening mercury lashes
she only shines when no one is looking
she sheds tears in pale lavender petals
too small to fall they scatter the sky
particles of dreams too long left to chance
shimmering like scales from lunar moth wings
collecting as dust in lightning strikes
it's so easy to fill your eyes with thunder
when all you see are the faded reflections
she's searching through constellations
folded up like a love note read too many times
bent and worn along familiar illusions
tender whispers and serene embraces
slipping through sighs like moonbeams on water
gathering every wish into her milkyway locket
to tuck away safe for the next starless night
she's dreaming across heartbeats in hurricanes
hoping the storm will somehow wash her beautiful
*the last, i think, to go with the hummingbirds and dragonflies writes*

Eat my platitudes along with all the rest. I'll admit I clicked on this one because it had ravens in the title.

"folded up like a love note read too many times" That line really caught my attention, it was perfect. By the last line, my eyes are overflowing, this was so moving and loaded with emotion that just screams off the page. I loved this.

*sighs* The last two lines have etched themselves into my mind. I want to keep them there with me, always. Such vision and emotion.
